HIGH-RESOLUTION ALTIMETERS FOR DEEP OCEAN APPLICATIONS

The 1007D Series underwater altimeters are ideally suited for
deep ocean applications and are primarily used on underwater
vehicles (ROVs andAUVs). Various depths and frequences are
available to suit different applications.

OPERATING MODES
Upon power-up, the altimeter scans its telemetry interface to
detect MS 1000 or ALTCONFIG modes. If neither is detected, the
altimeter goes into one of the factory configured default modes.

A global leader in the underwater acoustic industry, Kongsberg

has an international support, training as well as application and
data interpretation.

807 Mode
operates in standalone mode with analog output interface
resolution and maximum range are set to fixed factory-default
settings

FEATURES
Robust design
MS 1000/Express capability
Easily configurable analog/digital outputs
Three depth ratings: 3000m, 6000m and 11000m
APPLICATIONS
ROV/AUV altitude
Obstacle avoidance
Positioning
Below surface monitoring

808 Mode
RS232 telemetry
resolution and maximum range are set to fixed factory-default
settings
809 Mode
RS232, RS485 and RS422 telemetry
resolution and maximum range are set to fixed factory-default
settings
MS 1000 Mode
controlled by MS 1000 processing software via PC and
automatically detects telemtry (RS232 and RS485)
operating settings are adjustable

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
All 1007D Series altimeters have their parameters factory configured to operate within the specified acoustic detection range. The
default settings are listed on the specification sheet.
For standalone altimeters configured with analog output only (807 mode) no field re-configuration option is available.
For standalone altimeters configured with a digital telemetry interface (808, 809 or MS 1000 modes), the default factory configuration
settings can be changed by loading a re-configuration file using the ALTCONFIG software.
When configured in 809 mode the default altimeter operational settings can be temporarily changed during operation by sending
new commands.
The units operating in MS 1000 mode have their operating parameters controlled by the MS 1000 software.

Specifications subject to change without any further notice.
